Totoro&co Sandwich Bento

Am now back blogging for Bento&co again! I have so many bento ideas to share with you.

As a start… a Totoro&co bento for the lovely Bento&co Blog readers :D

It has been some time since I made a Totoro character bento!

Totoro and the other characters of the Japanese animation film, My Neighbour Totoro are very popular with the Japanese. There is even a museum in Japan, called Studio Ghibli that is dedicated to this film. I hope to visit Studio Ghibli in my next Japan trip!

Over here in this bento, I combined one of my favourite characters together with one of my favourite breakfast – the egg mayonnaise sandwich. It is comfort food for me, the combination of the creamy egg mixture with soft white bread is just amazing!

I then incorporated the Totoro characters and added some leaf cut outs. Here were the ingredients:

This egg sandwich bento was paired with fruits and vegetables to complete the meal, which included green grapes, cherry tomatoes and lettuce.

The bento creation was packed in a sandwich bento box. I love such sandwich boxes which are collapsible after use, very very convenient! Here a new sandwich box at Bento&co, Black + Blum Sandwich Box.

Oh by the way, I was in Kyoto at Bento&co store during my trip~ will be sharing with you about the lovely visit very soon!

Shirley - Bento specialist, Singapore

Hello :) I am Shirley, a bento artist/chef and blogger. I started making bento back in 2011 as getting lunch was very inconvenient at work, and in 2012 my blog, Little Miss Onigiri was born. Bento making is a passion that I am fond of, and excited about. My head is often bursting with ideas on what to make. Even when I visit the supermarkets, I often imagine what I can make out of an ingredient or food product. Character bentos are my forte, but I also enjoy making usual bento lunches, bread, sweets and other decorative food items. If you like kawaii and and fun creations, I am sure you will enjoy my blog postings. I will continue to do my best and thanks for staying with me.
